It is suitable for the elderly and children to come here to feel the coolness and comfort of nature. If you're looking for a sense of tranquility and beauty away from the hustle and bustle of the city, then Yele Lake is the place for you. Come to Yele Lake and feel the pristine plateau scenery!

【Meng Huocheng】
Meng Huo City is located at the junction of Shimian County and Mianning County in Sichuan Province, this mysterious place is the legendary place where Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo during the Three Kingdoms period, and it is also a beautiful scenery of plateau ecological meadows.
Walking into Meng Huocheng, it is like stepping into a fairyland on earth. Here the mountains are high and the forests are dense, the canyons are deep, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, the hot springs and waterfalls, the wonders of the sea of clouds, rare birds and beasts, and rare plants are all there.
And the most exciting thing is the alpine ecological meadow with the most moderate altitude, the largest scale and easy to reach in western China, which makes people feel like they are in the embrace of the western Sichuan Plateau.
Meng Huocheng not only has beautiful scenery, but also free admission! You only need to pay the sightseeing bus fee (the same price is 20 yuan for one way and two trips. Must buy), you can enjoy the entire scenic area. However, the development of the scenic spot has not yet been completed, the scenic spot logo is not perfect, and the service attitude of the staff needs to be improved, so it is very necessary to do a good job in advance.
In Mong Woo City, you can choose between two routes: one is the Red Rock Beach and the other is the grassland. Red Pebble Beach is uphill and requires a climb, but it's only 2 km each way. The grassland route is a flat road with better scenery, and most tourists will choose this road. However, the natural beauty of Muang Ho City is largely dependent on the weather, so it is better to choose a sunny day to visit.
【Caution】
Along the way, you'll encounter laid-back cattle and sheep, lively monkeys, and even the Montenegrin pig, and you'll be fascinated by the pristine scenery here.
However, it should be noted that in order to protect the local ecology, Yele Lake has just opened and is limited to 200 people per day. Therefore, be sure to make a reservation for a homestay or restaurant on "Panda Youtu" in advance in order to visit this secret place smoothly
